The first thing you notice about this boy is his his height and build. This young boy is quite short for his age, and it is speculated he won't grow much taller - he seemed to have gotten the bad side of the gene lottery, gaining his mother's short stature. He's always teased by his siblings who gain their father's height ; this boy stands at a height of 5 feet, 2 inches and it's thought that he won't grow up more to 5 feet , 7 or 8 inches at most when he's an adult. But for now he has to deal with being vertically challenged, but of course he doesn't let his height get the best of him. As for his build, he can be said to be having a more slender frame with a light amount of muscles ; his body being built more more for speed, flexibility, endurance and stamina rather than brute strength and being a powerhouse. This little guy may not look it, but he can lift ; he can carry stacks of boxes without breaking a sweat even though they're taller than him and he can barely see past them. Also, one can hardly beat him in a foot race - there's one undisputed known fact about him, hes quick on his feet ; you see him and then you don't, his legs may be short but it's a sight to see them pumping when he's running as if he's one with the wind. One can see the evidence of his hard work and never skipping leg day as he has well defined calf muscles and thick and healthy thighs ; he loves running and takes a moment to go on morning and afternoon jog every day. Another thing is he's a climber as well, and he's also one to be able to slip into small spaces as well - being small has it's advantages, he may be small but he's mighty. For now, his chest is rather flat, not gaining much muscle - yet, but when he's older he will have what can be described as slight "boobage" as his friends will teasingly call it in the future. However one can see the beginning of muscles on his stomach, and one can note that he has a rather slender waist with dip hips ; a waist that most girls would die for and that's constantly getting him confused for the opposite sex and his stature and face doesn't help either.
You immediately notice this young man's face ; the soft and round features and big doe eyes, and not to mention the boyish grin that seems to light up a room. When it comes to skin tone ; this boy can be described as being kissed by the sun and dipped in honey. His golden-bronze skin having a beautiful sheen when exposed to the sun, and in the winter his skin tone lightens up due to their not being a lot of sun, and he can grow rather pale and cool in tone but in the summer when he's out in the sweltering heat his tone increasingly darkens with how much he's out and can linger until the tan fades away. His is soft and velvety to the touch, the only out of place thing being the soft "peach fuzz" of hair that grows on his face , otherwise he has rather smooth skin. His skin has little to no pores, meaning that he doesn't get that much acne easily which is a blessing, however when he does get it, it comes on heavily. The only way he gets acne is when he's been eating too much sweets or the oil in his hair is irritating his face of his sheets are dirty ( he is a very clean person so this is a highlyunlikely cause) ; and when dealing with the acne, he's fortunate that they leave minimal to no scarring on his face when they are dealt with (and even the scars fade away with proper treatment!) . Overall, he's blessed with some pretty good skin genetics. This boy has a heart-shaped face, with round and puffy cheeks that puff out much like a pufferfish when he's annoyed or pouting, and grow a light shade of coral when he's embarrassed by something or a deep shade of red that creeps to his neck and ears when he's flustered by something. Mainly, it is when he's panicking over someone complimenting him or they have the balls to dare to actually flirt with him (how scandalous) especially when it's a guy - it makes his brain malfunction, because, hello? Cute guy flirting with him ? It makes no sense, shouldn't he be focusing on some cute girl and not a dude. He's not a girl! However that doesn't seem to stop the flirts coming from either gender, and it leaves him rather warm and fuzzy but also very confused, because that's wrong . . . right ?
He has a rather attractive jawline with a slightly sharp chin, it gives him some sort of grace in letting others know his gender but he still can be quite confusing. Why? It's no help that he has rather pretty and interesting eyes ; for one thing he has eyes with what is called heterochromia, specifically sectoral heterochromia. His right eye is a pretty and soft sapphire like shade of blue, reminding of of the rough and deep seas, and if you look close enough their is a big of a dark green hidden within them - adding to the fact they appear like a murky sea. Now, his left eye is rather interesting, it is split horizontally with the top and bottom being entirely different colors- the top half being a light and warm brown color, intermixed with flecks of a golden undertone and and slight hints of grey giving it an almost hazel looking appearance. The bottom half is a darker almost chocolate appearing brown and with in is just what can be described as a splash of a pale blue hue with a hint of lime green within. His eyes are big, round and doe-like - giving him an gentle and innocent appearance, and what also most would say a more "feminine" appearance but somehow his eyes suit him very well. He definitely looks beautiful in photos or portraits - and not to mention, the way his eyes light up when excited or seem to get comically round and big when excited . His eyes are rather expressive and he can be too. They are framed by long and curled dark lashes that add to them even more, making his eyes appear slightly bigger and accenting them. Overall, his eyes are something that one can easily get lost in or flatter him about.
When it comes to his lips, this young man has what can be described as rather full and plump lips. They sort of stick out, almost as if he's in a permanently pouting about something. His lips are rather soft, as he constantly uses some type of balm on them to make sure they don't dry out - he absolutely hates having cracked and dry lips. His lip color can be described as a soft pinkish hue with a noticeable reddish hue to them. One can say he has rather kissable lips. As for when he smiles, he has a rather charming smile - one full of light and joy. He has what can be described as cute bunny teeth, with a gap in between his two front teeth. His teeth are a rather healthy shade of white with the natural yellowish off-white hue that comes with them. He has a rather simple nose ; a nose that can be described as a button nose - and it wrinkles in disgust when he's upset, quite like a rabbit at times. As for his hands, he has rather small hands, ones that are soft and smooth - like leather almost. Hands that are used a lot ; for climbing, for sewing, and whatever they can be used for in hard work - yet, there is also care and love within these hands of his. His fingers are slender and delicate, very feminine looking - yet, they have a certain ruggedness to them. When it comes to other markings and interesting features on his body, one can note the assortment of beauty marks that do this young man's body ; on his face near the corner of his right eye he has three small beauty marks, then on the top left corner and bottom right corner of his lips he has one as well, their is even a beauty mark on the center of his bottom lip. He also has some along his neck, check, and back along with some on other parts of him, but it's safe to say he has quite a few beauty marks. And then on the left side of his neck is a birth mark in the shape of what can be described as a heart.
When it comes to his hair, he has a whole lot of it - the hair being very thick and healthy, and as for its length ; it rests neatly at his waist and at his elbows for the front portion for his hair. Having a lot of hair annoys him because it's a lot of maintenance - yet, he has it for one reason only, his mother ; she had the prettiest hair he'd ever seen and his is exactly like it, and when he takes care of his hair it reminds him of the long nights she spent humming him a lullaby as she softly brushed his hair or them getting ready for an event and her fussing over how to style it. These fond memories of her are why he keeps his hair long and makes sure to take good care of it even if he gets teased for having long hair or it annoys him at times - it's a reminder of his mother and his mother is very dear to him. His hair is the color of the night - ebony curls that remind one of a starless night or the infinite void of spaces, his hair is so dark that their is a slight dark cerulean hue to it when it graces the sunlight. His hair is curly, and rather fussy at times, not to mention voluminous - being hard to tame and constantly in a state of frizz and poofed out if he's not careful, however his hair is rather versatile in being able to style ; he can take oil and slick it back into a ponytail, braid, or any updo style he can think of - and when he straightens it, he is able to take a various amount of forms. His hair is very strong, being able to take constant heat and roughness when it comes to dyes or any other harsh treatment he might do on his hair. His hair also has a certain healthy sheen and it seems to glisten at times ; he's rather proud of his hair and protective of it, it's his worst nightmare for someone to cut it when he's sleep. If there is anything that's true, this boy is proud of his long hair, even if it gets in his eyes at times - he wouldn't change for the world, and anyone who hates on his hair can kiss his ass (derogatory).
Personality:
When you first meet this young man, there is just something about him that's just so, charming. If not his blinding smile, then it's his infectious giggles and laugh - or the way his eyes brighten at the slightest thing or the way he handles people with gentleness and genuine care. It's rare to find someone so pure-hearted and kind these days, and that anomaly would be this young man. Most will agree he has very good manners, he is always polite and courteous to others - and is rather chivalrous, always being respectful and courteous of women ; opening doors for them, pulling out their seats, and interfering if he sees a man taking advantage or being rude to a lady ( if his help is needed, he knows women are strong and can handle themselves, and if she seems to have the matter handled then he won't interfere). It's his personal preference to not use foul language in front of a lady or use it in general, but certain instances can provoke him to use obscene language. Otherwise, most would count him as a gentleman and if not a ladies man - as most can be seen fawning over him or flocking to him at times. It can also be said, he has this certain aura of security around him - a certain gentle smile that makes you feel okay when you're with him, knowing that you will be safe. He is very trustworthy, he's the type you trust to watch your items and food or drink when at a bar - along with being the responsible friend that gets everyone home when they're wasted out of their mind. Not to mention, he seems to have everything someone could need in his little bag - from bandages and ointment to feminine care products , he truly is the friend that cares for everyone's need and can have almost anything that you need on hand. Most of his friends would say that he's a mother hen - always doting on them, making sure they're alright, giving them random gifts, and scolding them when they're in the wrong about something ; he's a rather loyaland protective friend. And dare anyone threatens those he calls his friends or family ; he's not outwardly a violent guy, but that doesn't mean he's not above a fist fight if it means helping someone he cares about, he'll will be raised for them.
This male is rather empathetic and nurturing, someone who truly cares about the well-being of others. He's the type to help old ladies cross the street, help a kid get a stuck cat out of a tree, or even buy someone's groceries because they couldn't afford them. There is just something effortless about his kindness, that blunt others are just baffled that there is someone who is just so kind. He's the type of friend to listen empathetically to your pains and sorrows and give you a shoulder to cry on while you bitch and moan about something ; he's adept at gently comforting others and giving them a gentle nudge in the right direction but he can also be rather blunt about the advice or admonition he gives you, just because you're his friend doesn't mean he'll show bias towards your situation. If you're in the wrong then he'll just straight up tell you because he doesn't want to be that friend that enables bad behavior or intentions. He may give you the scolding of the life - it reminding you of a mother scolding her misbehaving child but it still having that warmth and love for you, just wanting the best for you. While he's mostly always the one with kind and uplifting words, he can be quite the little shit at times - having an almost childish and mischievous air about him ; snarky and witty remarks aren't beneath him, nor foreign to him. So just because he's a sweetheart doesn't mean he'll take disrespect to his name or reputation, one can best believe if you are talking shit about him ; whether it behind his back or to his face, and he finds out about it - there will be some repercussions. He can be a smartass as well, but that's only when one is getting on his nerves or drawing his ire - you know you've done something wrong when you've got him rolling his eyes or saying some snarky remark towards you, but sometimes it's the opposite, he may be snarky because he's feeling off your vibe and that's how you communicate. But either way, one can tell he's rather emotionally intelligent - he's able to read the moods of others ; from the slightest gesture to the way they're speaking, he's very observant of human behavior - able to pick up most things others would miss in conversations and making little notes of them in his mind. What these little filed pieces of information are used for depends on the person, because in either case - any information is dangerous and can be used against you.
This young man is rather intelligent, and scarily so - most would call him a quick learner ; he's able to pick up on most things rather quickly, and with careful teaching he can master some things. He's a mainly hands on and visual learner, benefiting from seeing someone demonstrate something and mimicking it rather than just hearing it or seeing it written down in steps. While there may be trials and errors in the beginning of teaching, one will begin to see the determination and focus he possesses when learning something new, he's also patient and well aware it takes time and practice to become proficient in something. He's also a rather smooth talker, not only book smart but also street smart in some ways (still needs a little honing) - he's good at haggling and spotting when someone's trying to get one over him, and he's one with a quick rebuttal. After all, one has to has sharp eyes and ears to survive in the world of it can mean you miss out on things - that's been drilled in his head, so he makes it his mission to possess as much knowledge and skill as he can humanly possible. It's why he's so studious, always having his nose in a book about something new and rambling about his newest interest - if one doesn't see him, you can almost always find him in a library or somewhere drinking some coffee and reading a book. He has a thirst and desire for knowledge, and that's why he always excels at what he does, if his performance is slipping then something is wrong, because he would definitely not let that suffer. Hell, he would spend hours the night before cramming to study and read over meticulously written notes about something he was well aware he's good at - and take a test sleep-deprived, but well studied before he'd let any grades or performance of his suffer. He's just stubborn like that, it can also be said he's rather competitive; he has to have the top scores, top this and that - or he will lose his mind. He strives for perfection in everything he does ; and it irks his nerves when he doesn't achieve it, maybe it's due to living in an rigid environment at home, but it's been engrained that he must be the best at everything he can possibly be in and anything less is unacceptable. This can lead to an unhealthy mindset, which he does have at times when it comes to goals and accomplishments - he can really get into his head at times and sometimes needs someone to help him get out of it (but of course he's rather stubborn about getting help for himself because he's supposed to be the one helping, not others.)
This young male, is a rather good actor - being able to hide his emotions and intentions at times. But it's his form of stoicism ; only those who know him too well can see when he's putting on an act for others, and even then he'll deny it. He's truly a happy and rather bright individual ; one who draws others to him like a moth to a flame, it's not intentional as he doesn't actively seek out companions, and sure he's social but he's not a social butterfly like most. He's that one cool person you find an interest in and end up becoming friends with because of their personality and first impressions ; not because he introduces himself. He has this calm and rather chill aura and demeanor about him, with a lazy yet charming smile that can put ones fears at ease - and a soft, yet firm voice that can comfort someone softly, command a room when needed, or be the one to call out someone's bullshit. Yet, at times he puts on this "happy face" in which he hide his true feelings ; whether it be sadness, exhaustion, or anger - he doesn't want that side of him to be seen. To be truthful, while he can keep his emotions in check, he is a rather emotional person - he feels things more than most and has a rather large heart, and doesn't like when his kindness is taken as weakness or for granted. So while he tries to be polite and kind to most, it does sting when others undermine his kindness and make fun of it - and it does make him upset and sometimes angry . . . which isn't a good thing. It's not good to bottle up emotions, and he knows it, he tells others that - but he does it to himself, he's a bit hypocritical in that manner. He's rather selfless as well, to the point that most of his friends would call him stupid - to the point he would get himself physically hurt for another, even if it meant losing his life, which leads to more worrying thoughts about his mental state. But, he swears that he's fine.
When it comes to anger, there's one thing that most agree on : do not incite the wrath of this young man. While he may look sweet, there are fangs underneath that smile of his - he is not some pushover. While it is true he does have the patience of a saint, and it takes a lot to get him riled up, when it happens - everyone better get out of his pathway. There are two types of anger from him ; his cold and calculating anger or his boiling rage - both are pretty scary when incited. It's not known to most, but this male is rather vindictive - he doesn't take kindly to liars or those that break promises to him or cross his friends. If you make an enemy of his friend or family, then you make an enemy of him - and you don't want that. There will be a certain chilling look he gives of dislike, even if it's just for a split second - before he gives the impression he does like you, he's not to bad as to openly show his disdain but their will be semi noticeable passive aggressive tendencies he'll have towards you but deny when called out. Not to mention, if you really gain his ire, there will be little incidents like things going missing or you just having a bad day - he is spiteful like that. Now when it comes to his boiling rage, you must've really screwed up to get him that mad - because this means you have an ass whooping coming in your direction, it means that he wants to pummel you really bad because of something you said or did. When he's this mad, it's no reasoning with him - one has to physically restrain him from hurting the other party because there will be pain. He will end up connecting his fist to your face, one way or another - and if it doesn't come to that, then he will verbally rip you apart, or even coldly blackmail you if he has the resources to do such a thing. There is also this overwhelming aura of just pure anger, that overcomes him and it just silences anyone foolish enough to speak and scares the shit out of anyone with a sense of sanity - there will be a cold fire in his eyes, just itching for a fight, and sometimes he will black out when he's angry and can't control the rage. Which is why he tries to contain it, but one things clear - no one, should piss him off purposefully, because if you do so, you better start praying to whatever you believe in.

But Also, His Words Become Unfriendly And Unkind And Their Is A Dangerous And Unsettling Aura That Engulfs Him.
